[edit] Hornblower

About the Hornblower paragraph. The captain was not killed by the fall down the hatch. He was killed by escaping Spanish prisoners as they attacked the Renown's crew. A minor detail, but worth noting.

Just a thought, but is it confusing to talk about a fictitious ship along with the historical one? Should we perhaps create a sub-category 'Hornblower's Ships' under Category:Hornblower novels (not all that difficult to do), move the information and and put a link to it here?Cenedi 09:10, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
